Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.
Kaisarganj
South-western tahsil of Bahraich District, United Provinces, comprising the parganas of Fakhrpur and Hisatmpur, and lying between 27 degree 4' and 27 degree 46' N. and 81 degree 16' and 81 degree 46' E., with an area of 679 square miles. Population increased from 332,193 in 1 89 1 to 348,172 in 1 90 1. There are 647 villages, but no town. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 3,29,000, and for cesses Rs. 75,000. The density of population, 513 persons per square mile, is considerably above the District average. The tahsil lies in the wide valley of the Gogra, and is scored by many old channels, the chief of which are the Sarju or Suhell and the Tirhi. The whole area is fertile, except where the Gogra has deposited sand, and irrigation is rarely needed. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 443 square miles, of which only 13 were irrigated.
